The Bottom LineĪmazon Music HD gets you the familiarity and use of Amazon with a library of tens of millions of artists and songs. Some users also prefer the Amazon Music HD interface to Apple Music. Still, this is a new technology for Apple Music so there will be some initial kinks to work out. The Spatial Audio offering, meantime, competes with Amazon’s 3D music tracks. What that means: Apple has made its catalog of more than 75 million songs available in Lossless Audio using the company’s own ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) to preserve every single bit of the original audio file.

However, Apple recently unveiled its new Spatial Audio with support for Dolby Atmos, and Lossless Audio tiers, which are now a free upgrade for existing Apple Music subscribers.

HD audio also streams up to 850kbps, which is more than what Apple Music used to offer with its 256kbps. Amazon Music HD offers high definition (HD) and Ultra HD (UHD) streaming, both of which are encoded by the lossless FLAC codec, which preserves more of the original recording file. Apple MusicĪmazon Music HD is also better than Apple Music… for now. With that comparison in mind, Spotify’s 256kps is similar to MP3 quality - decent enough for everyday listening but hardly the rich, finely-detailed audio you want if you’re a true music fan. While Spotify tracks stream at 320kbps, Amazon Music HD audio streams up to 850kbps (for reference, most CDs play music at 1411kbps). So is Amazon Music HD better than Spotify? The short answer is, yes. Amazon Music HD currently offers music streaming in higher quality than Spotify, meaning you’ll hear your favorite tracks in high-definition, lossless audio. At just $199, the Echo Studio is an Alexa-enabled smart speaker that gives bigger names like Sonos a run for their money, and it’s the only way to get Amazon Music’s 3D audio for now. Amazon recommends its Echo Studio speaker for Amazon Music HD. Keep in mind that the audio quality you hear will only be as good as the device you’re playing your tunes on.
